Simultaneous consumption of beer and seafood, the essence of a ‘cervejaria’, is the quintessential Lisbon dining experience. Cervejaria Ramiro (http://www.cervejariaramiro.pt/?lang=en), with its laid back atmosphere, stunningly fresh seafood and equally refreshing arsenal of beers, makes for an excellent example of these eateries. Aside from beer, we demolished three dishes:
Firstly, a whole crab stuffed with a creamy sauce was right on the money; fresh, juicy crabmeat, creamy yet not overpowering sauce, the perfect partners for spreading on wholesome, crusty bread.
Second; clams sautéed in garlic and olive oil; another showcase of fresh seafood working its magic, with the sweetness of the clams married well with the earthy heat of the garlic.
Last, but by no means least, the grilled scarlett shrimp. Huge, red and pretty damn expensive shrimp (15 euro each!) simply grilled and served with a drizzle of lemon juice. For prawn lovers, this can’t be beat. Sweetness of the sea personified. And make sure you drink the head juice.
